Closer ties with Education and Defence

The New Zealand Defence College (NZDC) and UCOL are working
together more closely to extend training opportunities for
Defence force personnel, their families and those who have
left the Forces.

This reciprocal relationship provides
a pathway to higher educational opportunities and is an
important development in the continuing relationship.
Defence Force staff who have gained skills throughout their
military career can work through a recognition process to
gain credits towards qualifications, for example degrees in
Management or Information Communications Technology,
shortening their study time.

Conversations are
continuing across all subject areas at UCOL with the NZDC to
see how future needs can be met. The relationship is based
on trust, communication and a commitment to shared
outcomes.

A Relationship Agreement was signed at the New
Zealand Defence College on Thursday, 14 November 2019.
